Welcome to the club A-Jay!
PS. Can we get the squad photos and profiles up to date?
For example, surely Fisayo is not still with us?
The official team & individual player & staff photos take place on Thursday, therefore you should expect these to be updated from Friday. This is earlier than normal e.g. last season's official team & individual photos were taken on October 1st ahead of the season start 2 days later.
Most clubs tend to have their official team photograph shortly before the start of the season, primarily to avoid players being in the team picture then departing shortly afterwards.
Is there a reason we're starting significantly laters than usual in Conf Prem? EFL started Friday, North/South start next weekend, we've only got 3 matchdays in August

I suspect that it's because the National League wanted to align the length of the close season with the EFL, which finished 3 weeks earlier in May.
National League North & South will have wanted to start as early as deemed practical, with their season having been cut short in 20/21.I thought that they might start last weekend or even the one before that, which is when the North West Counties & Northern Counties East League started, but I suspect that the reason it's not until this weekend is related to player contracts i.e. starting earlier would have meant 1-2 weeks extra wages to pay.
Whilst the National League has 3 fixture rounds in August, we only have 2, as we are the team that doesn't play on August 28th.
